ORIGINAL POSTERTLDR : Answer Summary
A 73-year-old individual currently residing in the Philippines seeks advice on obtaining a retirement visa from the Thai Embassy in Manila and inquires about long-term resident visa options. The conversation reveals that the Non O visa allows for a 90-day stay that can be extended in Thailand with a bank deposit of 800,000 THB, whereas the Non OA visa provides one year of residency but requires health insurance from registered providers. Alternative methods are discussed, including tourist visas manageable through agents, although concerns regarding agent reputability are raised.
